LIGHTSTRUCK: CINEGRAM WORKSHOP
San Francisco-based film artist Kerry Laitala
returns to conduct Experiments in Cinema’s fourth annual
Ligthstruck: Cinegram Workshop. In this workshop, we will
make 35mm "Cinegrams" directly onto film, creating
hand-exposed cinema. We will place various objects and
materials directly on unexposed 35mm film and print their
shadows onto the film with light. This intimate tactility
will ignite the hand/mind continuum into a direct
interplay, freeing us from ordinary constraints. Working
under red safelights in the UNM dark room facilities, we
will explore the nature of this light-sensitive medium.
We’ll also learn how to create our own Cinegram studios at
home. The results of the day’s experiments will be
screened at the Guild Cinema as part of the Experiments in
Cinema v7.9 festival. For more information on Kerry
Laitala’s work, visit kerrylaitala.net

When: Thursday April 19th, 10:00am - 3:00pm
Where: Meeting in CERIA 360 at UNM, and continuing to the
UNM darkroom

BOTANICOLLAGE: BOTANICAL 16MM FILM
New York-based filmmaker Caryn Cline joins us
to conduct her unique BotaniCollage filmmaking workshop.
In this workshop, participants will create hand-crafted
films using just clear 16mm celluloid and the botanical
materials that the New Mexico spring has to offer. After
gathering plant specimens, participants will flatten and
adhere these leaves, stems, and flowers onto 16mm film. We
will experiment with the pattern, texture, shape, color
and translucency of our botanical materials. The resulting
films will be intimate and indexical portraits of our
vegetable environment. The finished Botanicollage films
will be screened at the Guild Cinema as part of the
Experiments in Cinema v7.9 festival. For more on Caryn
Cline, visit caryncline.com

When: Friday April 20th, 10:00am - 3:00pm
Where: ART 252 on UNM campus

IMPROVISING WITH ACTORS FOR FILM & VIDEO
New York-based performance artist and filmmaker
David Finkelstein returns to conduct another marvelous
improvisation workshop with Experiments in Cinema. This
workshop will nurture the
kinds of improvised movement and language which grow from
a rich inner-landscape of sensations, emotions, images,
and musicality. Actors, directors, and artists are invited
to take part in this
extraordinary, experimental performance collaborative.
Learn to access intuitions that will help you create
consistently brilliant improvisations for film or video.
Also learn camera and sound
recording techniques appropriate for improvisation.
Emphasis is on helping student find an organic form true
to her experience, rather than working within set forms.

approach to improvisation, please visit:

When: Friday April 20th, 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Where: ARTS Lab studio - 1601 Central Ave. NE

Experiments In Cinema is an annual film festival that
brings the international community of un-dependent
filmmakers to New Mexico to add an experimental voice to
the current statewide conversation about movie making. Now
in its 7th year, this 8 day event (a Basement Films
production in collaboration with UNM’s Department of
Cinematic Arts) will screen 65 films from 25 countries. In
addition to the international films we will screen four
films by New Mexicans including Open by Patricia McInroy,
Losing Her Memory by Mateo Galindo, It Takes Time To See
by Deborah Fort, and The Great Northwest by Matt McCormick
(McCormick’s work has been featured at the Sundance Film
Festival and the Museum of Modern Art in NYC). For the
third year Experiments in Cinema will partner with
Instituto Cervantes to present a special program of
contemporary Spanish video art. Additionally, each year
the festival includes a regional Youth Film Screening at
the historic Kimo Theater, sponsored by the Albuquerque
Film Office. Experiments In Cinema will also offer free
hands-on workshops to the community including a 35mm
filmmaking workshop with Kerry Laitala, a 16mm filmmaking
workshop with Caryn Cline and an improvisational acting
workshop with David Finkelstein. In addition to the
extraordinary line up of films, there will be a number of
special events including multi-media performances,
presentations by filmmakers Julie Perini and ENMU
professor Laurel Petty. Tickets can be purchased at the
screening venues, though many of the events are free.
Please visit www.experimentsincinema.com for a complete
schedule of events and ticket prices. For more
